Standard Test Methods for Determination of the Water Absorption Coefficient by Partial Immersion

Importancia y uso:

5.1 The purpose of these tests is to obtain, by means of simple apparatus, reliable and easy to determine values of liquid water transport for capillary active materials expressed in suitable units. These values are for use as part of the material properties in hygrothermal analysis tools for building envelope design and forensic studies. As the topic of liquid transport phenomena in porous materials is very complex, Appendix X1 in ISO 15148 shows some more detailed background information.
